writing a short dialogue in chinese


Recommended Posts

I feel really confused being unable to explain the background of the dialogue clearly.

Imagine it's a racing driver talking with his race engineer over the radio. Though it isn't common motorsport. Words in brackets are not to be spoken but important for proper translation.

 

driver: Gyroscope out of order. [i'm] losing balance.

engineer: understood [you]. Orient [yourself] by readings of gravity receptors.

driver: demand for permission to track it visually.       #He drives it blindly, instrumetally and wants to watch the course by his own eyes.

engineer: [Answer is in the] negative.

 

I've tried to translate it myself but got stuck, this is too much of challenge for me.

driver: 陀螺罗经失灵了。 失衡。  (or 失去平衡。or it claims 在...呢  doesn't it?)

engineer: 懂你

 

And that's all I could make for now. Help me please to get it right.

A bit above my paygrade here but when the engineer says "I understand" consider 明白 and when he says "negative", consider 不行. If it is not a permissive "negative" and rather there is no ability or way of doing it you could use 没法.

Let me try:

 

赛车手:陀螺仪失灵,我失去了平衡。

工程师:收到(or明白),请根据重力感应器读数调整方向。

赛车手:请求手动驾驶。

工程师:不行。
